We arrived here by flying Copenhagen - New Delhi- Melbourne and we will now continue to travel eastward flying Melbourne- Los Angeles - Copenhagen. We fly the first leg with United and in Economy Plus class which means Economy seats with better legroom and on this flight, we also had the bulkhead seats.

Thank you so much for your review. I booked the exactly same seat for for an international 14 hours travel. I paid 1000 dollars more for me and my daughter and was wondering if it's worth money. Seeing your video made me feel relieved. It looks very comfortable.

I have the same feelings about the bulkhead seats. The seats themselves always seem less comfortable - with the somewhat awkward tray tables and TV’s.
Easier to get in and out and little more private, but the inability to straighten the knees is very tough on older tall fellows like myself.
I suppose travel involves a number of trade-offs if one is not wealthy. Having status to get into airport lounges is a major bonus. I always enjoy your videos.

14 hours in steerage class. Sounds delightful! 😅

That aircraft is parked up at the kilo run up bay they bring them there to do engine runs
